* You mentioned that Sp-doms can use social connections stealthily to achieve their goals; I think So-doms, when unhealthy, can do it as well, especially if they are in an influential position.

* I think "selfish" is kind of a touchy word here, since So- and Sx-doms can also be selfish - just like Fe users can be very selfish in stealthy, manipulative ways. I agree that Sp-doms tend to be more "contained", though. Amélie Poulain from Amélie is a good example of a Sp/Sx that actually focuses too much on others and too little on herself...

* The emphasis on material goods and health for Sp-doms can be a bit misleading. Some Sp-dom 5s, for instance, choose to hoard their time rather than their possessions, becoming solitary travellers who only carry a few important things.

* Sp-doms can also worry about the safety of others quite a lot. Their fixation is not purely ego-centred, I imagine.

I agree with that, but sp/sos use their connections to serve their own personal needs, whereas a so-dom would use their connections to affect others in a way they think is best for them.

I was going with general descriptions when describing them and I wanted to differentiate each type's unhealthy state from each other so I just chose the ones I notice the most from each type.

Again, this was more of a general descriptions type of thing. I wanted to encompass what was common in each instinctual variant instead of going into details, such as the entitlement issues from 2's, the dauntless and imaginative 4's, etc.

Yeah, of course. Sp-doms do have a social or sexual secondary instinct, which affects how they relate to others. The first part of each video basically just describes each type in the most simplest terms.

Hmmm, I could see them projecting a lot...

However, if their status within a group is important to them (whether due to power, prestige, misguided duty or whatnot), resorting to nasty tactics to maintain it could fall under "serve their own personal needs", no?

Okay, though I still think "selfish" is a tricky word here...

Which is why, I believe, a more general word, like "resources", would be preferable...

It does sound a bit, though, like Elfboy said, that Sx-auxes don't care about others... It's more of an area of focus, I think. /not an expert on instincts

Instinctual variant is supposed to be the most obvious and important thing as far as motivations go and I still have no clue. None of them jump out at me, screaming, "Ah! Totally me!"

I guess social is probably least, but I blow at the making money thing. Maybe its the frustrated idealist talking, but I have a hard time settling for anything but the perfect job. Does that mean I'm sp first?

1. My romantic and closest friends are very important to me but I guard my time alone with a passion. I get overwhelmed by others very easily, unless...

2. I feel a strong connection to them, an energy from them, then I come on really strong. But I can't imagine wanting to be around that person all the time. Still, I find attraction very stimulating and exciting. Being abandoned or ignored by that person makes me go completely crazy. But once our relationship is secure, I'm pretty chill and perfectly happy to communicate/be together more sporadically. But I really like/feel the need for intimate relationships.

3. I can't help but think how my actions affect others, the planet. I'm not exactly out there saving the world (not at all, actually) but I buy humane eggs, eat organic, recycle, etc for both my health and everyone else's, sign amnesty international petitions, etc. I try to live by the adage treat others as I would like to be treated. Living in a cage sounds like the worst possible nightmare to me, so I can't imagine it's pleasant for a chicken either, for example. I like the idea of everyone respecting every living thing's autonomy and individual self-worth. (i guess that sounds sp-ish, doesn't it?)
